How can it be an instrumental? That party recording is clearly Axl and he's belting out something. Unless that's an entirely different song - but then - what was that?

I don't see any real basis for thinking it was an instrumental except that it was an instrumental 15+ years ago, and given GNR I don't think have ever released a pure instrumental, and a version of this song already leaked with some sort of lyrics...it just doesn't make sense to me even as a B side.

I think we will get the party leak with Slash over dubbed. If we are lucky slash put some effort in to make it epic and spooky like his universal studios guitar, if we are unlucky he just played any old chords to fill the space. If we are lucky Axl left his spooky scream vocals. If we are unlucky he lowered them in the mix and resang it in low register so they can still peform it live these days.

Lets hope for a bit of luck.

It's either:

(a) The locker leaks, along with a small handful of other tracks are really all that was finished from the sessions - so them releasing the 2008 Album plus around 5 or 6 tracks now will really close the door on that period of creativity and there's nothing else than can be saved.

or

(b) The focus is on clearing out stuff that is old that had been partially heard/leaked in some form. Hardschool/Absurd/Perhaps/General - they are all songs we had been exposed to somehow (less so in the case of the General but still we have an idea of it). This would imply Axl has other songs he's tinkering with in his back pocket that he may bring to the new sessions with slash next year.

It's interesting that Tom Mayhue was making it sound like what he heard was closer to AFD stuff. It makes me think there must be more yet for us to hear.

They're awesome but fake I think, there's a lot of vision out there of the delorian from stuff like BTTF skits, Japanese TV commercials, in character promos/anniversary content, and of course audio from the computer games. I think they've assembled clips of that stuff with some stock footage into a trailer.  Very nicely done too.

I can't find it for the life of me now but I feel the scene of the delorian crashing into a mall wall is from an old comercial or something. I remember cos it was kickass extra delorian footage at the time for BTTF fans. In the full version they go open up the car afterward and like doc comes out or something and there's a lot of smoke. hahah vague I know.

I think we would have got BTTF4 if not for michael's condition. And I gather the situation is Bob Gale (writer of the original) has co-ownershop of sequel rights and his policy is apparently "over his dead body". So until he passes I don't think we will see a reboot.

If you are a fan there was a game written by Gale that functions as a loose Part 4 for Ps3. Some people have edited it into a cartoon on youtube if you're into it.

It's limited cos it was a game, but it has the sort of whimisical plot a BTTF 4 might have had.

I sort of agree but I sort of don't lol.

Like Slash and Axl would be GNR whoever else in on board.

I like Duff, and Duff is a key part of the real GNR sound in terms of what makes the music the music.

But to the public, if the 2016 reunion was Matt and Slash rejoining Axl, rather than Slash and Duff, I dunno if the public would really care.

It's weird cos Duff helps for sure. But then like VR was GNR cos it was Duff, Slash and Matt...turns out it's still a GNR reunion with only Slash and Duff meeting Axl..and I suspect down deep you put Axl and Slash together and it's still GNR.
